ERNEST JACQUELIN, OF NIORT, FRANCE.

METALLIC CUP FOR CARRlAGE-AXLES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 339,784, dated April 13, 1886.

Application filed July 11, 1885. Serial No. 171,349.

(No model.) Patented in France January 27, 1895, No. 166,580.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, Banner JAOQUELIN, a citizen of the French Republic, residing at Niort, France, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in means for collecting the drippings of oil from axle-spindles and for withdrawing the same when collected, (for which I have obtained Letters Patent in France, under date of January 27, 1885, No. 166,580;) and I do hereby declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact description of the invention,such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention has for its object to produce a device which is adapted to be applied to the axles of carriages, wagons, and other vehicles for receiving the drippings of oil from said axles, and to provide means for withdrawing the oil when collected.

The invention consists in the construction and combination of parts constituting the device, as hereinafter described, and as illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 illustrates my invention as applied to an axle by a part elevation and a part sectional view. Fig. 2 is a front view of the device.

Aindicates the axle, to which theinvention is to be applied, and a indicates a flange on said axle.

B represents an annular casing, preferably of the shape shown in Fig. 1,which casing fits snugly on the axle over the flange a. At the lower portion of the casing B is formed a neck,

I), through the opening b whereof the drippings of oil, when collected, are withdrawn. This neck is threaded externally for the reception of the cap I), which closes the opening b*.

C indicates a partition or wall, preferably formed integral with the casing, and which divides the interior of the easing into two chambers, B B, the chamber B serving as the receptacle for the oil. This partition nearly comes in contact with the inner face of the wall b of the casing, leaving a narrow space, 0, for the passage of the oil from the oil-chamber Binto the chamber B" beneath, as will be readily seen from an inspection of the drawings.

The partition 0, as shown, is in an inclined position, so that the oil may more readily flow from chamber B into chamber B.

Although I have shown but one end of the axle provided with the device above described, it will be understood that the opposite end of said axle will be provided with a like device.

Having thus described my inventiomwhat I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s-

The con bination,with a vehicle-axle having a collar, a, of the casing B, having dischargeopenings 1)", closed'bya screw-cap, said casing being divided into two annular chambers by an inclined or flaring interior partition, 0, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 27th day of May, 1885.

ERNEST J ACQUELIN.
